Turbosmart 7170 T4 0.96AR Externally Wastegated TS-1 Turbocharger

What you get with this Turbosmart TS-1 turbocharger is a complete unit ready to integrate into your forced induction setup. It features a T4 turbine inlet flange and a 0.96 AR (Area/Radius) housing, which is a good balance for street and track use, offering a quicker spool than larger housings but still capable of supporting significant power. This turbo is designed for external wastegate control, giving you more precise management over boost pressure compared to internal wastegates.

The TS-1 is built around a robust core that Turbosmart is known for. It uses a high-flow compressor wheel designed to move a lot of air efficiently, and the turbine wheel is selected to match the 0.96 AR housing for optimal performance across a broad RPM range. The external wastegate setup means you'll need to plumb an external wastegate into your exhaust manifold or header, which offers better control and can help prevent boost creep. This setup is ideal for builders looking to fine-tune their engine's power delivery and achieve specific performance goals.

When installing this turbo, remember that it's not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. You'll also want to ensure your oil and coolant lines are properly routed and sized for the turbo's feed and drain ports to guarantee proper lubrication and cooling. Proper tuning will be essential to take full advantage of the turbo's capabilities and ensure engine longevity.
